running
two pairs of feet moving in unison
the sound they make hitting the pavement drowned out by my voice
another rant about marathoning that she let me dump on her
most people don't want know what they're capable of, i tell her
they aren't willing to push to the point of pain, to the point of breaking, i say
i'm quiet for a moment and my running partner speaks up for the first time in a while
that's really impressive, you know
what?
your running philosophy, your life philosophy, it's really impressive
a pause
and then
you're my inspiration, you know
me?
yeah, you... is that so hard to believe?
i am quiet for a while
she's just lying to make me feel better, i conclude
she must pity me
so i just start on another rant
lips moving but head gone
is that so hard to believe?
it is
it really is
